Pretend there was a Discovery Channel style show about digital photography. What kind of topics would you like to see addressed?
Be prolific! This may affect more than you think ;-). |

Working pros, describing what works for them. Photo Safari on OLN is pretty good - though it is all pitched at a very basic level, and with the obvious sponsor biais. The other problem they have is that the images they show are terrible - if you want to discuss photography - show good photography!
I'd like to hear more about the thought processes behind the images and less about the simple technical stuff. |

You can get a "good idea" of what goes on for Sports Illustrated at least by reading this article. Pretty impressive.
I would love to see stuff on studio lighting. Showing the setup of the lighting, what modifiers are used and why, how the lighting ratios are set and why, and then show sample shots using that lighting setup. Then change something (like from reflectors to softboxes, raise/lower a light, change lighting ratio) and see how the results vary.
Also information on the "do's and don'ts" of posing people in a studio setting. I'd like to be able to "watch it happen live". Again, with sample comparison shots that show how/why some poses look better than others. I think I'd find this better than reading a description of "how to pose" followed by 1 sample "final shot" showing the result. Books/online articles are better than nothing, but not nearly as educational (for me, at least) as seeing it happen in "real time".
[sarcasm](The above "wishlist" has nothing to do with my lackluster performance in the "Color Studio Portrait" challenge.)[/sarcasm]
